Dabo Swinney has been coaching football for 27 years. Prior to that he played it for 14 years. So, in the 40-plus years he has been a player and as a coach in the game, he has never been a part of game where one of his teams had three kicks blocked in the same game.
However, there is a first time for everything.
Clemson kicker B.T. Potter, who had not missed a kick all season prior to Saturday night’s win over No. 7 Miami, had three of his kicks blocked in the Tigers’ 42-17 victory at Death Valley.
